SCA: security update for org.dspace:dspace-api (GHSA-8rmh-55h4-93h5)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412843

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - DSpace open source software is a repository application which provides durable access to digital
 resources. In affected versions the ItemImportServiceImpl is vulnerable to a path traversal vulnerability.
 This means a malicious SAF (simple archive format) package could cause a file/directory to be created
 anywhere the Tomcat/DSpace user can write to on the server. However, this path traversal vulnerability is
 only possible by a user with special privileges (either Administrators or someone with command-line access
 to the server). This vulnerability impacts the XMLUI, JSPUI and command-line. Users are advised to
 upgrade. As a basic workaround, users may block all access to the following URL paths: If you are using
 the XMLUI, block all access to /admin/batchimport path (this is the URL of the Admin Batch Import tool).
 Keep in mind, if your site uses the path "/xmlui", then you'd need to block access to
 /xmlui/admin/batchimport. If you are using the JSPUI, block all access to /dspace-admin/batchimport path
 (this is the URL of the Admin Batch Import tool). Keep in mind, if your site uses the path "/jspui", then
 you'd need to block access to /jspui/dspace-admin/batchimport. Keep in mind, only an Administrative user
 or a user with command-line access to the server is able to import/upload SAF packages. Therefore,
 assuming those users do not blindly upload untrusted SAF packages, then it is unlikely your site could be
 impacted by this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-31195)
